The Guardian does not see fit to provide any identifying information about this knife carrier, other than that he is male and was apparently planning an act of terrorism. They were probably hoping that he would turn out to be a “right-wing extremist,” but such people are much more active in Leftist fantasies than in […]

Pentagon yields to Hamas-linked CAIR demand to ‘review’ counter-terror training
“Air Force chaplain Walid Habash has been assigned to begin reviewing slides from Dunleavy’s lesson material later this week. Habash, however, Sperry reported, received his Islamic education from a Muslim Brotherhood school in Virginia, the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences, which was raided by federal agents in 2002 as part of a post-9/11 […]
Reunion Island: Muslim shoots and wounds two French cops as they try to arrest jihadi
“Interior Minister Matthias Fekl said the suspect’s mother was also being questioned.” This is a generational conflict that will not be resolved by facile attempts at “deradicalization” that fail to address the root causes of “radicalization” in the Qur’an and Sunnah. “Reunion island: French police shot by suspected Islamist,” BBC, April 26, 2017: Two French […]
Why I Left Islam: An Iranian-American Speaks
“I see a lot of love in Christianity, I see a lot of anger and hate in Islam,” stated my anonymous Iranian-American interlocutor to me in his condominium building manager’s office. My interview partner related a revealing personal spiritual and geographic journey away from his boyhood Islamic faith and Iranian homeland to an adult Christian […]
Germany: Number of migrant criminal suspects soars by more than 50% in 2016
In addition to crimes by Muslim migrants and jihad attacks, Germany is stuck with a sizeable bill to pay. Back in January, the Express reported that to clean up the mess created by Muslim migrants will cost Germany and EU taxpayers $46 billion. But then in a later report, the Express estimated that figure would […]
Obama freed 7 Iranians who were threats to US national security
The legacy of Obama continues to look worse and worse. It wasn’t enough that the Obama administration endorsed the highly secretive nuclear deal with Iran, releasing up to 150 billion dollars to the terrorist state, and “paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013″ in backroom deals. Nor was […]
China bans ‘certain Islamic names’ in Muslim-dominated region
Names with strong religious meanings like Islam, Koran, Mecca, Imam, Saddam, Hajj, and Medina, as well as names that have “connotations of holy war [Jihad] or of splittism [sic – Xinjiang independence]” are included in the list….The new decree comes after Chinese authorities banned “abnormal” beards and veils in public places. Even China — known […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang presents The Sandra Solomon Moment, with Sandra Solomon, an ex-Muslim who grew up in Saudi Arabia who is now valiantly fighting against the Islamization of the West — and of her new home country of Canada in particular.

Robert Spencer, PJM: Florida Diocese Punishes Teacher Who Quoted Saint’s Critique of Islam
“[N]ot consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church.” Hmm. My latest in PJ Media: Last Wednesday, the Huffington Post reported: [T]he Catholic diocese of Orlando, Florida, says it has reprimanded a teacher at a Catholic school in the state for giving his sixth-grade religion class an anti-Muslim reading assignment. The Huffington Post expresses a […]
“The Catholic Church…has become one of Islam’s loudest boosters”
In this excellent piece, George Neumayr refers to the rupture of relations between the Vatican and al-Azhar that took place during the time of Pope Benedict. As I explained here, that rupture took place because Pope Benedict dared to speak out about the Muslim persecution of Christians. By contrast, Francis energetically defends Islam, and leaves […]
Austrian President: Day will come when we ask all women to wear headscarf
Because of “rampant Islamophobia,” to stand in “solidarity” with hijab-wearing Muslim women. Great. But who stands in solidarity with Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it? Or with Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a […]
UK Muslim issues YouTube death threat to critics of Islam
Anthony Small, a convert to Islam in Britain, tries to couch his threats as a warning and an effort to “protect” those who criticize Islam. However, his references to the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre and Salman Rushdie make it very clear what he is saying. Note his praise of the post-massacre Charlie Hebdo editor who […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Art – Under And Out From Under – Islam (Part II)
If those who work in our museums want to enlighten audiences about Muslims and Art, they should consider two aspects of the subject that have received practically no attention. First, a museum wanting to treat the subject of Islam and Art should give visitors a sense of what Islam has meant for much of the […]
Italy: Muslim who threatened to “roast non-believers on skewers” arrested
Mouner El Aoual should be taken immediately to Pope Francis, who would explain to him that true Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. How fortunate we are to have imams such as Francis to explain it all for us. Now if they could only convince the Mouner El […]
New York Times comes out for Leftist thuggery against dissenters on campus
The thrust of the argument here is that to shut down voices that the Leftist establishment considers odious — which includes mine, although I am not mentioned in this article (no, I am not Richard Spencer) — is aiding the oppressed to have a voice that they are usually denied. This is an argument for […]
Singapore: Imam expelled for Friday sermon against Jews and Christians
An imam. How did a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it properly get the idea that he should preach and pray against Jews and Christians? It is, as far as mainstream analysts are concerned, an insoluble mystery. “Remarks against Christians, Jews: Singapore orders Indian Imam’s expulsion,” Daily Pioneer, […]
After Palm Sunday jihad massacres, Pope Francis to Egypt to reach out to Muslims
“A main reason for the trip is to try to strengthen relations with the 1,000-year-old Azhar center that were cut by the Muslim side in 2011 over what it said were repeated insults of Islam by Francis’s predecessor, Pope Benedict.” What did Benedict say? Andrea Gagliarducci of the Catholic News Agency explains that after a […]
Audio: Robert Spencer on Islam, the Media, Universities and Free Speech
I appeared on Accuracy in Media’s Alex Nitzberg Show several days ago. Here is the story, and you can listen to the full interview here. “Jihad Watch Director Robert Spencer on Islam, the Media, Universities and Free Speech,” by Alex Nitzberg, Accuracy in Media, April 24, 2017: Jihad Watch Director Robert Spencer rejects the notion […]
Sweden: Muslim rapes 14-year-old, won’t be deported, has ADHD, doesn’t understand “no”
This is what a society committing suicide looks like. Most Swedish men by now would think it wrong to do anything about this, for it would be racist and “Islamophobic.” This Google Translate is a bit rough, but the meaning is clear enough. “Forced 14-year-old to sex-rape for rape because he has ‘suspected ADHD’ and […]
UK: Muslim prisoner plotted to behead guard, but move to special unit would breach his rights
“A jailed jihadi was put in segregation for plotting to behead prison guards – but a judge has ruled that the move breached his human rights.” There in a nutshell is the problem with contemporary Britain, and the deep crisis it faces of its own doing. “Nadir Syed, 24, was placed in isolation at the […]
